I haven't looked into it much myself, but I know there's a piece of hardware you can buy for your sim rig called a 'butt kicker' that helps simulate bumps underneath the car.
Yes, but you don´t need a "butt kicker" itself, because that´s a brand which is overpriced and normally out of stock. You need (strong) bass shakers, an amplifier to power them, free audio-outputs on the PC and the Software called SimVibe from SimXperience. This does the same for the shakers what their motion rigs does, translating telemetry output of the sim into shaker output. I´ve six shakers installed and feels very authentic.
Great review Joe! I have to say I am glad to see a real driver like the sim...and I'm not an IRacing fanboy but I appreciate good games and the work they have done with the Dirt!
Although I’ve raced in iracing with ya in 360 sprints I jus ran across this vid of yours good stuff and ya I think jus seeing VLR guys in cockpit from you tube knew I was going to get it
i raced dirt gokarts since i was 5 and raced latemodel for a year when i was 16 only 4 wins but i loved it. we had to sale it because we were going bankrupt. and im now 19 and dont have the money for a car but i would like to do this. i gotta save a bit to get the wheel and pedals. i have good pc
So you are using a "real" steering wheel with a force feedback base? I missed it - what is the company that lets that happen? Full size wheel is awesome.
Qstick333 The wheel I use from Logitech doesn't natively support a real wheel. There are companies that sell (relatively expensive) adapter plates that you can install custom, or you can make your own like I did for free.
It's actually the opposite! These cars have a contraption called a "lift bar" which, when torque is applied to the rear end (axle, pumpkin) the fore is converted from compression to extension. The rear of the car actually lifts into the air! It's pretty crazy stuff. The name "on the bars" actually refers to the left rear of the car being pinned in the air by the rear trailing arms. This is helped along by the compression and rebound settings on the shock absorbers (set so that compression is hard and rebound is soft). This video is a good demonstration: ruclips.net/video/vaok37QI-Is/видео.html Pay attention to the two bars on the left rear. One is silver and one is black with a curve in it. (The shock on top of the rear end housing is optional, and some even run a second shock on the left rear on the front side of the axle in addition to the rear)
Also I realized I actually didn't answer your question fully. The feeling is a lift feeling. You feel your butt being picked up into the air, and the car feels like it's going to roll over to the right. Sometimes they do, so you have to be careful how hard your car gets on the bars especially in a heavy (muddy) track.
This is a modified Logitech G27 with a long acre 13" wheel attached. I made a custom mount plate for it. It was a massive pain and I am pretty sure it did permanent damage to the G27 wheel base (the paddles and macros no longer work, I probably damaged the connectors). I've since moved to a Fanatec CSL Elite.
Here are my wheel settings: i.gyazo.com/873bbf4e78d3dc923c861fdd8a13e184.png If you find that your wheel isn't turning far enough or you have setting issues you can change that in the windows or Logitech controller settings. I occasionally find a bug with windows update where it sees the wheel as a driving force GT. This disables the clutch and makes the wheel only turn a max of 180 degrees. For that problem I use this video: ruclips.net/video/SV0kYPRLboE/видео.html The G29 is a little newer but the same rules should still apply. Let me know if you figure it out!
Hm. If you think it feels good at baseline i'll have to test it out. Raising min-force lowers the amount of overall forces I get. (but it helps with deadzone because the G27 requires a minimum force to be sent for it to actually move)
It's a custom modification of a logitech G27 where I put my longacre wheel on it. I wouldn't recommend modifying the wheel the same way I did though. I ended up destroying it.
Any tips for a new guy. Bought latemodels and eldora and I have to take a lap at like 47 mph. If I even start to get in the gas I am all over the place. I tried playing with stagger a bit and stuff but quite frankly I am so all over the place there is no freaking way stagger makes a difference its that bad.
If you find yourself over correcting too much, like I see many people do, try just flooring it at Eldora. You can make laps with the gas all the way down. The car will feel really weird and it won't want to go straight. You just need to find the right angle to hold the car so it doesn't spin and it doesn't snap toward the wall. Load up a test track with low usage and try it out. Start with the Limited Late. Going in a straight line is one of the hardest things I see new people try to do. Take throttle out of the equation and run the car using only the steering.
Many times you need to turn the wheel before the car reacts. You can chase the car back and forth all you want, but it will only make more exaggerated movements. Also be sure that you have your wheel set up properly. My wheel rotates 900 degrees, and I use all of it. Anything less and I feel like the car is way too snappy.
Sophie Benonis I assume you mean lap times compared to real cars? I don't know just yet. We plan to race at Williams Grove this year and then I will have a good idea of how fast it is compared to real life.

That butt kicker helps especially if you race at the old daytona from the free content you get from iracings membership

Love how you're just chatting away, driving with one hand - and blowing everybody else away on the track😉. Make it look SO easy. Good review.
blowing everyone else away? He was 5th 3 tenths off 1st
hes beating alot of ppl
Great review Joe! I have to say I am glad to see a real driver like the sim...and I'm not an IRacing fanboy
but I appreciate good games and the work they have done with the Dirt!
They need to add big block modifieds
I wish I would've seen this video three and a half weeks ago when I was joining iRacing.
Although I’ve raced in iracing with ya in 360 sprints I jus ran across this vid of yours good stuff and ya I think jus seeing VLR guys in cockpit from you tube knew I was going to get it
Love the transparency!
i raced dirt gokarts since i was 5 and raced latemodel for a year when i was 16 only 4 wins but i loved it. we had to sale it because we were going bankrupt. and im now 19 and dont have the money for a car but i would like to do this. i gotta save a bit to get the wheel and pedals. i have good pc
Fantastic! Love the helmet towards the end there! Funny
I like your April Fool's video
I need that setup for my latemodel
I really enjoy your Channel. Keep up the Great work.....
I just subscribed. So I will be binging your videos today! Lol
Thanks! This is one of my most viewed, however I really enjoy making vlogs and videos of my real racing. Hope you like what you find!
Thanks Joe, great review

What is the feeling of the car "getting on the bars"? Is it when the rear springs are fully compressed in the corner?
It's actually the opposite! These cars have a contraption called a "lift bar" which, when torque is applied to the rear end (axle, pumpkin) the fore is converted from compression to extension.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Good luck this season.
Y he look like scarce
What kind of wheel is that? Was swapping the real race wheel on a pain?
This is a modified Logitech G27 with a long acre 13" wheel attached. I made a custom mount plate for it. It was a massive pain and I am pretty sure it did permanent damage to the G27 wheel base (the paddles and macros no longer work, I probably damaged the connectors).

I have a G29 Logitech wheel and I am having trouble with the steering in this SIM, What are your wheel settings? Thanks
Here are my wheel settings:

Weird. Does it not need the 16% minforce that the G27 needs?
I haven't tweaked that setting at all actually.
Hm. If you think it feels good at baseline i'll have to test it out. Raising min-force lowers the amount of overall forces I get. (but it helps with deadzone because the G27 requires a minimum force to be sent for it to actually move)
What's that wheel i want it can you sa y it
It's a custom modification of a logitech G27 where I put my longacre wheel on it. I wouldn't recommend modifying the wheel the same way I did though. I ended up destroying it.
Where you racing against the AI in this clip ?
There are no AI in iRacing yet.
@@JoeLuskRacing there is now, but not for many cars.
Does the the game have hobby stock in it
+tyler Hughes It has a street stock. Check it out on the game's site. All rules are different, so...
Joe Lusk Racing aw ok thanks I am planning on racing hobby stock

Joe Lusk Racing o
Altoona area
I've seen this guy race before
an u build me a pc i have all the parts
Who?
A helmet? Really? LOL
I'm sorry but iRacing is in fact a game similar to Xplane 10 and Microsoft Flight simulator
ITS SCARCE
Is it the shirt?
Joe Lusk Racing you kinda look like him
bullshit i call bullsit late models and street stock fucking suck in this game and really dont handle right
Ok!
